Wii U = Nintendo's Wii Successor Announced. Launching Date?

Wii U = Nintendo's Wii Successor Announced. Launching Date?
Finally, Nintendo announced their new home console.
Official name is "Wii U". We had introduced the brief details at "Wii Successor Outline Leaked. Trustable?". Announcement at E3 is mainly about the controller.
Not clear enough.
Well, as stated at E3, not only the controller but the console Wii U is new. But the old Wii controller and other peripherals, all Wii games can be driven on Wii U.
Compatible huh.
And you can play games through the monitor on controller, so no need to occupy the TV. Of course you can play on TV and there are games which need both TV and controller's screen.
Huh.
Maybe you would think it is another 3DS or PS Vita, but it need the broadcast from Wii U so not a portable console. Well there maybe gameplay for the controller alone though.
There will be gameplay by showing different scene at the controller and TV, just like our example at "Wii Successor Outline Leaked. Trustable?".
However...
However?
My card game idea is for multi-controller, but in the announcement there is always 1 controller only, maybe the console can only linked to 1 controller...
Oh...
Anyway, gameplay depends on games, so let's wait for software. This is quite an innovation though.
What info do we have now?
If it must be broadcast by Wii U, it's no good though. They make an example of WiiFit, but I hope we can play it only with the controller and WiiFit broad. So that the bootup time can be shorten. WiiFit now is now suitable for everyday use.
You mean like iPad huh. That's comfortable to startup or shutdown.
Worth notice huh.
How about the launching date? They said 2012.
President Iwata mentioned at NHK Kyoto News that it would be after April 2012. If the business result is bad, they may set it for March 2012 though.
But when we said that at "Wii's Successor Announced. Shame on Nintendo for Announcing New Console Whenever They Have Trouble", comment stated that March is rejected by the press release...
Press release had not state that.
Should be this section.

"As for today's prediction of the fiscal year ended on March 2012, sales of the Wii successor is not included." (April 25, 2011 Nintendo Press Release)

This is just a sentence to avoid others to know the launching date. If they include恓it in the prediction they must launch it. That's no good for business.
So if Nintendo is doing badly, we'll get Wii U in March?
Possible. But this depends on the development of Wii U's games. It is more possible for them to make a brief announcement of software lineup at E3 2012, then launch in Sep to Nov 2012.
So this year's E3 we've got SCE's PS Vita and Nintendo's Wii U.
Hope they can do better. I have one comment for the developer though.
Namely?
If you just make a game because there are new functions, the game must be boring. You should create a game by using necessary functions, sometimes joypad and 2 buttons could be enough for particular gameplay. Hope there will be more interesting games ..
